Yeah, I hate to call anyone an outright liar, but it would seem to have been a fluke at best. I really have not seen any other reported sightings of these at other sites, nor a sudden surge in domestic ones on eBay.

Concerning those two mini-rigs: the Hasbro slideshow presentation from Toy Fair states that those two mini-rigs are scheduled to hit retail in April, about the same time wave two of the basic figures are scheduled to arrive. We should be seeing them in April/May, I would guess.

The East Coast is the heaviest with them I believe, especially judging by that map, but yeah up here there are a few of them. I have 2 right close to each other, but I don't know that I'm the rule either for Pittsburgh. I might just be lucky.

They usually don't have much though, and it's very scattershot... like TJ Maxx and Marshalls. They're really all the same.

Mine never got those GI Joe sets in that I ever saw. Bummer.

I did get some sweet Star Wars shot glasses at Ross though, and those are awesome.
